I Had An Appendectomy 8 Days Ago And Have Not

I had an appendectomy 8 days ago and have not had a bowel movement since. I've been taking stool softeners for several days and have cut back on pain meds also. I'm terribly constipated and because of the surgery can't bear down at all. Can i use an enema?
